Provençal chicken

Prepare the marinade (using the first 6 ingredients). Place the chicken breast fillets in a freezer bag, pour the marinade over them, spreading it evenly, seal the bag, and place them in the refrigerator to marinate (at least one hour, but you can also marinate them in the morning and prepare them the evening before). Combine the roughly chopped tomatoes, red wine, sugar, salt, pepper, and dried basil and mix with the chopped vegetables. Place the marinated chicken breast fillets (with the marinade) in a baking dish and pour the red wine-infused vegetables over them. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30-40 minutes (the vegetables should be tender). Sprinkle with freshly chopped basil and enjoy with baguette! Vive la France!
